Relisten #5: Body Language & X (28/10/20 at 7:30pm)

[COB]

I actually quite like this song, to be fair - it's just not like anything else on here whatsoever

 

[ZenGiraffe]

09 - 2 Hearts
10 - Like a Drug
10 - In My Arms
11 - Speakerphone
08 - Sensitized
07 - Heart Beat Rock
08 - The One
07 - No More Rain.
09 - All I See

Again, a song on paper I should hate, but I kinda love it

 

[COB]

Plus it's SHORT

 

[POP!]

I remember when she came to America to an entire promo campaign for "All I See" and the album debuted at #139

I like it but it's b-side material. Speaking of, what is MIMS up to these days?

 

[Eddie]

LOL at MIMS’ CUT RAP on the Spotify version.

 

[COB]

Now Stars I love

 

[Beverley]

I find Stars a bit anthemic, but again, it's not her fault, but I resent her for being there.

 

[Jark]

09 - All I See

I really don't understand anymore

 

[Eddie]

I find Stars OK. I know some people love it. Isn’t Ag a fan?

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Stars is the very definition of filler.

[Raining on Me]

I love "All I See"

Lovely little melody, yeah it's generic as fuck and chases some popular sound more than anything did on Body Language, but I don't care, it's CUTE

[Jark]

Stars is filler ahoy but at least we're back in sparkly territory and it feels like a typical day at the office rather than Kylie wandering into completely the wrong building.

[Beverley]

She drags a bit at the end

 

[lolly]

All I See is really quite horrible. Definitely in my least favourite ten tracks of hers.

 

[Eddie]

Wow. *yawn*

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Wow is super cheesy, but it's a cracking wee tune.

[COB]

Wow is one that's been a bit ruined by use on adverts ESPECIALLY FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS

 

[POP!]

I would've swapped "Rippin Up the Disco" in place of "Stars" tbh

 

[lolly]

Right, what's this selling us this time around?

 

[Beverley]

Hate her for being so catchy

I remember being at the Kylie Show filming and seeing the clip of Wow being performed and initially being quite excited at a LAFS clone but soon began to hate it thereafter.

[POP!]

Is "Wow" remembered at all by the basics/Karens/locals etc? I guess I'm fine with it being on the album for being the only proper big UK hit, but GOD AT WHAT COST

 

[Jark]

I mean Wow is the definition of autopilot and PILFERING the gorgeous French nu-disco sound of Love At First Sight for a song this joyless ought to be a crime punishable by pop imprisonment, but I can bop on occasion and it extended her relevance with the LOCALS. The pretty backing vox in the middle 8 are the highlight.

[Raining on Me]

Oh fuck I've always adored Stars. I suspect it's seen as total autopilot filler but it just chugs and chugs along on a sparkling sky train and again, melodically it's a BEAUT as far as I'm concerned. I absolutely live for that extended outro, the melancholy in it is everything.

[Beverley]

I would've swapped "Rippin Up the Disco" in place of "Stars" tbh

And swapped 2 Hearts for Magnetic Electric / No More Rain for Cherry Bomb

 

[COB]

I would've swapped "Rippin Up the Disco" in place of "Stars" tbh

You could do an entire second album of the X offcuts and leaks, to be fair Actually can someone get on that STAT, seriously

10 - Like a Drug

06 - Stars
06 - Wow

The chorus is crap though, its saved by the verses and middle 8.

OH LOOK, THE OLD ME IS BACK

 

[Jark]

I would've swapped "Rippin Up the Disco" in place of "Stars" tbh

STARS is the one you would swap out?!

 

[COB]

Fuck I'd forgotten all about Cherry Bomb

 

[Eddie]

It’s just so fucking juvenile.
